is a collective founded by House Of Royals. They come from so many different countries and cultures. It started with refugee performers to give them space to express their art as it was difficult for them for different reasons like language difficulties, racism etc. As a group of refugees, they also have a deep mental connection and understanding of each other, and bond over their trauma as they share similar backgrounds. Even though most of them have lost their families, they still have the opportunity to support each other. And thanks to the many places that support and validate them, they've grown and made it this far.

This event is part of the Threads of Resilience Festival
Given the current situation and urgency to express, we decided to co-organise a community-led and collectively curated 3-day festival “Threads of Resilience” from 14-16 December at Oyoun.Those include a press conference, bazaar, panels, film screening, talks, exhibition, workshops, concerts, healing session, theater, puppet show for children, and parties.
With this festival, we want to reflect on and learn from movements of resistance, resilience, and solidarity across the world and come together for three days of ephemerality and collaborative archiving. We want to address and speak out against repression, silencing, instrumentalisation, and division. We need to continue to empower, promote, and celebrate pluralistic perspectives from, with, and intersectionally marginalised communities.Admission is based on free donation (nobody will be denied entry if they cannot donate). All proceeds will be given to organizations in support of victims of racist police violence and to organizations giving legal support to people threatened with deportation.
